“…Broiler chickens are apparently more tolerant towards deprivation of feed and water than poults, since our results contrast with those reported by Chilson and Patrick (1946), who found severe depressions in bodyweight and marked increases in mortality when feed and water were withheld from poults for 24, 48 and 72 hours after hatching. Marion, Stadelman and Wilhelm (1956) reported that White Leghorn cockerels starved for 100 hours after hatching were significantly lighter up to six weeks of age and showed significantly higher mortality than those given feed and water immediately.…”

“…A similar explanation was offered by Lepkovsky et al, (1960) who observed a reduction in feed intake as a result of decrease in water intake of birds. Chilson and Patrick (1946) also observed that depressed growth is a typical symptom of water starvation.…”

The performance of broiler chickens as measured by feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency, body weight gain, and other traits was studied in an experiment in which three groups of chickens received 85, 70, and 55%, respectively, of the amount of water supplied to a control group which had water ad libitum to 8 weeks of age.Each level of water restriction caused a significant depression in feed consumption and body weight gain. As feed consumption appears to be a function of water availability, differences in feed conversion efficiency were not statistically significant (P>.05).Treatments did not have adverse effects on mortality.

“…Posthatch mortality is known to increase as the delay in access to feed and water is extended (Chilson and Patrick, 1946); however, these deaths are not apparent until after 4 days of age when the yolk sac largely disappears (Mayes, 1987;Phelps et al, 1987a,b).…”

Effects of Posthatch Glucose on Poults Fed and Fasted During Yolk Sac Depletion

The advantage of glucose administration after hatching was examined in terms of poult performance and body changes 3 days after administration. A .5-mL dose of 50% glucose in saline was either subcutaneously (sc) injected in the neck or intubated into the crop. Controls did not receive glucose nor were they handled. Controls and poults given glucose were divided into two groups and either brooded with feed and water or kept in transportation boxes and fasted. Poults that were fasted lost weight, and glucose treatments did not alter this loss; however, access to feed and water led to a gain in weight. Those poults given glucose had greater weight gains and feed consumption than controls. Liver, yolk sac, and carcass contained increased moisture in response to glucose when feed and water had been provided, whereas only the carcass expressed this change when the birds were fasted. Most changes to glucose were greater from sc than oral dosing, and neither egg weight of origin nor sex influenced the extent of poult response.
